Best Answer

Well if your pushing against a lever the most efficient way is 90 degrees to the lever

if you push at an angle the force is split into an x direction and a y direction

X = cos (angle degree)

Y = sin(angle degree)

The lower the angle is away from 90 degrees to the lever the more efficient it is goin to be
